I can't seem to get what "The Trial of Murder" is supposed to be about. Can anyone who has read this short story by Charles Dickens explain to me the content and the ending? Many thanks
Dickens narrates in the first person as a Bank teller who seems to suddenly have developed a sixth sense type ability triggered by reading of a murder in The Times.
The gist of the ending is that the 'murderer' on trial and sentenced to death also has the same type of sixth sense ability, therefore the bank Teller and the Murderer have connected thru their similar 'I see Dead People' phenomenon (I suppose)
So, are they both right on their decisions? or does the 'murderer' thinks that this narrator has gotten it wrong, or that the narrator is just prejudiced against him for some reason (his sixth sense)? what's with the guy that stops on everyone's bed without stopping near his?
